These Walls

I cannot see the walls around me

But I feel them, oh I feel them

I feel so closed and empty

If only I could be free

Free from the doubt

That weighs on my mind

Free from the happiness

I cannot find

Free from the sin

I cannot condone

Free from the judgment

I cannot bear on my own

Beyond these walls I cannot see

The love that is there, oh, it’s there

It’s there in the blessings that surround me

It’s there, but I cannot see the person that I must be

So I feel this oppression

And it causes a spiritual recession

But I will become strong

Not after long

Because I have the tools to break

And I know what it must take

To take down the walls and conquer all my woes

Because I know the Man of many sorrows.

Only He has the right kind of tools

To help us fools

Get out of this box we’ve made

And just follow the plan He’s laid.

Because this plan leads to all happiness

With many a waiting soul to bless.
